Missile locations

Each Missile Tank only increases Samus' total by 1. While that initially sounds rather meager, remember that Samus can fully replenish her payload at any time by using the Concentration technique. A whopping 70 Missile Tanks are hidden throughout the Bottle Ship. This gives Samus' arsenal a maximum of 80 when added to the initial 10.

Main Sector

	1.	Straight after defeating the Brug Mass and receiving your first orders from Adam, exit the chamber and clear out the Geemers in the following corridor. One of the little pests will pop up out of a grate in the floor - enter Morph Ball mode, hop in the hole and follow the tunnel to discover this Missile behind a weakened grate. Go to walkthrough
	2.	This Missile Tank actually rests atop a catwalk in the hangar bay, right across from the 07th Platoon's dropship. To reach it, first travel to the large chamber with the adjacent rest rooms some distance from the hangar. Once there, climb up the stairs and walk inside the small windowed enclosure. Look for an air vent on the wall and dismantle it with a Missile. Roll inside and follow the long tunnel to find yourself back in the hangar bay, right across from this Missile Tank. Go to walkthrough
	3.	With Morph Ball bombs back in your arsenal, backtrack to the chamber where you first encountered the 07th Platoon. Climb atop the stacked crates at the rear of the chamber and look for a nearby platform up on the left wall. Leap across and lay a bomb beside the vent there to reveal a small tunnel. Roll inside to find this Missile inside a tiny chamber. Go to walkthrough
	4.	Go to the large chamber where you were ambushed by a swarm of Reo. Leap down to the base of the chamber below and look for a weakened grate in the floor. Blow it open with a Morph Ball bomb and crawl inside to find this Missile Tank hidden under the floor (watch out for a pack of emerging Geemers after grabbing the Missile). Go to walkthrough
	5.	On the way back to the command room after restoring power in the System Management Room, you'll find yourself in a chamber with a long bridge. Set foot on the bridge and it'll promptly retract, depositing Samus down below where you'll be ambushed by three hungry Sidehoppers. Deal with them all and head to the far southern end of the chamber. Use a wall-jump to climb up and find this Missile Tank hiding in the shadows. Go to walkthrough
	6.	After restoring power to the Main Sector, return to the large chamber south of Adam's command room where a tall elevator exists (right before a Navigation Room). Ride the lift to the top and activate the terminal nearby to extend the platforms on either side of the elevator. Down below on the left side you'll find a small opening in the wall atop one of the platforms; roll inside to find this Missile Tank hidden there. Go to walkthrough
	7.	After Adam directs Samus' mission to Sector 1, exit the command room on the east side and take the elevator up a floor in the following chamber. Move forward to find yourself in a long corridor with three large vents in the ceiling. The vent down at the end of the corridor is home to a large Reo nest - clear it out with Missiles then wall-jump up the vent to find this Missile Tank waiting inside a crate. Use a Missile or bomb to break open the crate and reveal your prize. Go to walkthrough
	8.	Immediately after picking up Missile MS.07 above, climb down the vent and move onward. Beyond is an enormous elevator shaft leading down to the Main Elevator chamber. Before hopping in the lift, take a look at the small open vents on either side of the elevator. Climb inside the left opening, roll onward around the bend and bomb open the obstructing grate to reach this Missile Tank. Go to walkthrough
	9.	The Speed Booster is needed to reach this item. Travel to the corridor connected to the System Management Room and travel south from there. The next large chamber contains a ruined elevator shaft and is home to a number of Geemers and Reo. Clear the area out, then climb down to the ground floor. You'll need to Shinespark directly up the ruined elevator shaft, so backtrack further south to give yourself enough room to build up the Speed Booster's charge. Run back into the chamber from there and Shinespark up the shaft to locate this Missile Tank hidden inside a crate. Go to walkthrough

Back to top

Sector 1

	1.	Soon after surviving your first Griptian encounter (the large, green, very angry armadillo-like creatures), you'll find yourself in a corridor blocked by a Super Missile blast shield at the far end. Look around near the blast shield - leap up to a small open grate in the wall and climb inside to find this Missile Tank. Go to walkthrough
	2.	You'll find this Missile Tank in the first hologram chamber, right after encountering the small, playful bird-like creature. Clear the Reo nests and roll through a nearby tunnel to find the hologram generator. Switch it off and backtrack down the path. You'll discover the Missile atop a metallic structure off to one side. Go to walkthrough
	3.	Just beyond the lush desert environment home to a sleeping Dragotix is a nondescript corridor filled with Geemers. Look closely at a group of the pests clustered around the ground on the left side of the corridor - clear them out to spot this Missile Tank hiding in the wall. Go to walkthrough
	4.	Immediately after surviving the infamous elevator shaft-Ghalmanian encounter, ascend to the very top of the shaft and look for a hidden tunnel across from the exit. Climb in and roll along the tunnel to find this Missile Tank neatly tucked further inside. Go to walkthrough
	5.	Soon after the elevator shaft sequence and right after the previous Missile Tank, you'll discover a blue-and-green-lit room housing a small Super Missile blast shield on the left wall. Look at the wall opposite the blast shield, see the small openings at the base of the wall? Roll inside the hidden tunnel to find this Missile Tank concealed inside a crate. Go to walkthrough
	6.	Travel to the observation room overlooking the lush desert environment where the Dragotix lives. Roll through the small tunnel near the window and follow the passage. Take care when the tunnel slopes downward - this Missile Tank hides beyond a small hole at the very bottom. Spring Jump over the hole to reach the Missile Tank easily (if you fall through the hole you might be able to double-bomb jump up again). Go to walkthrough
	7.	Follow the tunnel network mentioned in the previous Missile Tank to eventually find yourself deposited in the Scrap Block. A swarm of Wavers live here - clear them all out and take a close look at the debris filling the chamber. Use a Missile to clear the debris on the left side of the exit and reveal a small hidden tunnel. Roll through the tunnel and use a bomb to clear the grate at the top of the steep slope to discover this Missile Tank in a small alcove. Go to walkthrough
	8.	In the Biological Experiment Floor, climb towards the top of the spiral pathway circling the mammoth Kihunter hive - you'll see this Missile Tank resting atop a platform on the way up. Hop down from above to reach it. Go to walkthrough
	9.	Travel to the Navigation Room found soon after defeating the King Kihunter. Move through there and travel straight down to the bend in the following L-shaped corridor. Step through the door there to discover a long corridor with a retractable bridge. Activate one of the terminals at either end to retract the bridge, then climb down below. This Missile Tank hides inside a crate within an alcove down at the far end. A sneaky tunnel opening can be found around halfway down the corridor, but it leads to a dead-end just short of the Missile Tank's alcove. Instead, go back towards the entrance of the corridor and enter first-person view before climbing up the platforms to the bridge. See the small tunnel opening on the left? Roll inside this normally out-of-sight tunnel and follow the path to arrive in the Missile Tank's alcove. Go to walkthrough
	10.	Soon after the King Kihunter battle (and near the room containing the previous Missile Tank), you'll discover a long corridor partially submerged in water. Take a dip and move through the underwater region, clearing out any Skultera along the way. Look for a lone Whipvine covering a small hole in the wall - pump a Missile into the target (they work underwater!), then climb inside the uncovered pipe to find this Missile Tank. Go to walkthrough
	11.	There's an enormous jungle cavern where the water level needs to be raised and lowered to proceed (you'll pass through it soon after defeating the King Kihunter and just before the Groganch encounter). Travel to the far end of the chamber and look underwater for a hidden tunnel tucked away in the far corner - this Missile Tank waits patiently inside. Go to walkthrough
	12.	Travel past the Navigation Room beyond the rainy jungle where your first Groganch encounter took place. Eventually you'll reach a damaged elevator shaft inhabited by Geemers. Before stepping inside the elevator shaft itself, have a look at the ceiling of the antechamber. See the crate suspended by a mechanical clamp? Shoot the crate open with a Missile to reveal this Missile Tank inside. Go to walkthrough
	13.	You'll need the Grapple Beam to reach this one. Travel to the massive arbor chamber - home to the gargantuan tree with a spiraling walkway around it. Move north from here to a jungle-themed corridor with a tall cliff obstructing the passage through the area. Look up above to spot a Grapple Point - use it to reach the top of the cliff. Search for a tiny tunnel opening camouflaged on the right side of the cliff. Enter Morph Ball mode and lay a bomb beside the obstruction at the entrance of the tunnel. Roll inside the quaint little cave to find this Missile Tank hidden within a crate. Go to walkthrough
	14.	The Grapple Beam will allow you to reach this item. Travel to the large circular chamber (surrounded by foliage behind glass walls) near the entrance of this sector, where many battles take place. There's a Grapple Point visible behind a smashed window - use the Grapple Beam to pull Samus through. Once out of the chamber, look for this Missile Tank hidden within a crate nearby. Take note that you might not be able to use the Grapple Point until after the Mighty Griptians inhabit the area late in the game. Go to walkthrough
	15.	The Speed Booster is needed for this Missile Tank. Near the entrance of the wrecked pipe section that leads into the Subterranean Control Room lies a long dirt tunnel (down the far end is an area home to several Gripper - the venus fly-trap creatures). Near the wrecked pipe is a tall dirt shaft leading skyward - perfect for a Shinespark leap. Firstly, run back down the dirt tunnel to the Gripper habitat on the left to give yourself enough room for the Speed Booster. Run back to the right and Shinespark directly up the tall dirt shaft. A good aim will send Samus crashing through the dust and dirt high above. Locate this Missile Tank hidden within a crate in a sealed alcove up on the right. Go to walkthrough
	16.	Super Missiles and the Space Jump will aid in the retrieval of this item. Travel to the Navigation Room in the north-western region of Sector 1. Beyond this chamber lies a long jungle-themed corridor home to a hologram generator (normally you pass through here on your way to the Biological Experiment Floor where the King Kihunter encounter took place). Deactivate the hologram generator to reveal a Super Missile blast shield high up on the eastern wall, near the Morph Ball tunnel exit. Stay on the hologram generator's platform and dismantle the blast shield from there. Simply Space Jump over to the open alcove to retrieve this Missile Tank waiting inside. Go to walkthrough
	17.	The Speed Booster is required here. Travel down to the bottom of the elevator shaft where a Ghalmanian (chameleon-type creature) tried to pull Samus down as the elevator platform crushed it. Right outside the door at the bottom lies a chamber full of Geemers - take a close look at the light streaming in from a hole in the ceiling. You'll need to Shinespark up through this hole - use the adjacent long corridor filled with Bulls to build up the Speed Booster's charge. You'll streak through a maintenance tunnel and bust through into the chamber at the top of the elevator shaft. Backtrack and descend the maintenance tunnel, keeping an eye out for a small opening on the left wall roughly halfway down. Climb inside and use a bomb to break open the crate hiding at the end of the tunnel - this Missile Tank waits inside. Go to walkthrough
	18.	Super Missiles will grant access to this item. Right outside the top of the elevator shaft mentioned in the previous Missile Tank is a chamber home to Missile Tank S1.05. Look for a Super Missile blast shield on the left wall - blow it open and walk inside to discover this Missile Tank waiting around the corner. Go to walkthrough
	19.	Super Missiles and the Speed Booster are needed for this Missile Tank. Travel back to the Breeding Room area - along the way you'll find a Super Missile blast shield blocking a doorway. Originally you followed a network of pipes to bypass it, this time dismantle the shield. Make sure the door opens smoothly (without a loading transition), then go back to the entrance of the corridor on the left. As soon as you touch the door (you might see a "Now Loading" message appear on the screen, quickly turn back before the door opens), begin running back to the right to build up the Speed Booster's charge. Enter the next chamber and almost immediately hold 2 and Shinespark directly up. If performed correctly you'll soar up a hidden shaft to where this Missile Tank awaits inside a crate. Go to walkthrough
	20.	Later in the game, an originally-sealed hatch two doors down from the Breeding Room will unexpectedly open. Go inside the chamber and wall-jump up a narrow shaft to locate this Missile Tank resting beside a pretty tree. Go to walkthrough
	21.	Super Missiles, the Speed Booster and the Grapple Beam are all needed to reach this item. Move to the lush jungle area outside the Breeding Room region (where you first met the small playful bird). A tall slope, too slippery to climb, resides back at the entrance of this area where you originally entered near the beginning of the game. Use the Speed Booster to ascend the slope and clear out any spiky thorns obstructing the path. Once at the top, turn around and look back down the slope. See the Super Missile blast shield on the ceiling further down? You'll need to slide down the slope, enter first-person view and destroy the shield before slipping past it. Try to fill up the charge gauge before starting your descent, then begin the slide and continue to hold 1 while entering first-person view. Quickly lock onto the blast shield and release 1 before passing it. Scoring a hit will reveal a shaft leading up, along with an emerging Grapple Point. Use the Speed Booster to run back up the slope, then slide down again and catch the Grapple Point on the way. The Grapple Point will then graciously hoist Samus up to a very-well hidden alcove where this Missile Tank awaits inside a crate. Go to walkthrough
	22.	The Speed Booster is required to reach this Missile Tank. Travel to the huge arbor chamber near the entrance of Sector 1, then climb up the spiral walkway surrounding the enormous tree. At the very top lies a dead-end - backtrack to give yourself enough room for the Speed Booster, then run up to the dead-end. Shinespark directly up to locate this Missile Tank resting on a platform high above. Go to walkthrough
	23.	The Speed Booster and Gravity Suit will help to reach this item. In the same water-filled corridor as Missile Tank S1.10 above, down at the end of the corridor lies an underwater grate. Dive into the water and begin running at the grate from afar to engage the Speed Booster (keep firing to knock down any Skultera along the way). Blast through the grate when the Speed Booster engages to locate this Missile Tank hiding in a small adjacent chamber. Go to walkthrough
	24.	You'll need the Space Jump to reach this one. Just beyond the Navigation Room neighbouring the huge rain-swept jungle area (where you fought your first tree-like Groganch creature) is a long L-shaped corridor home to a number of Zeros and Kihunters. Turn the corner and take a look directly ahead - right above the lower exit lies this Missile Tank inside a cosy alcove. Use the Space Jump to fly over and claim your prize. Go to walkthrough
	25.	The Wave Beam will grant access to this item. Travel up to the observation room of the massive rain-swept jungle region (which is just beyond the location of the previous Missile Tank). Once there, exit the room via the door on the right and move through to the end of the following long corridor. Keep an eye on the area behind the glass wall in the background - eventually you'll spot a Charge Beam switch hidden in a small glass enclosure. Energize the switch with your Wave Beam to reveal a small opening in a glass wall nearby. Enter the wilderness enclosure and move to the far end to discover this Missile Tank waiting there (watch out for wildlife hiding among the bushes). Go to walkthrough
	26.	This Missile Tank is a sneaky customer, and requires the Speed Booster to reach. If you visit the giant multi-leveled chamber beside the outdoor Biosphere Test Area, you might be able to see this Missile Tank resting atop a platform in one corner. Even with the Space Jump however, the game won't let you fly across to the platform, so there must be another way up there. If you return to the large curving jungle region back past the Navigation Room, climb down to the metal walkway running along the left side of the chamber. Take a closer look at the dirt wall found at the end of the walkway - try locking onto it. The target reticule will reveal a Speed Booster weakness, so backtrack along the walkway to give yourself enough room and build up the Speed Booster's charge. Blast through the dirt wall to locate an underground tunnel. Keep going straight through the hidden corridor to eventually find yourself conveniently right beside this Missile Tank. Go to walkthrough

Back to top

Sector 2

	1.	Outside the first Navigation Room of Sector 2 lies a long L-shaped region. Not far around the bend you'll discover a Himella nest (the flying icy bugs) - this Missile Tank is cleverly hidden beneath a fallen stalagmite just before the nest's position. Enter first-person view to see it clearly hidden underneath the stalagmite, then roll inside with the Morph Ball to reach it. Go to walkthrough
	2.	The first Fumbleye found in Sector 2 is slumbering in a huge chamber partially filled with water (found soon after the previous Missile Tank). Take a dip underwater and look for this Missile Tank in plain sight on the right. Go to walkthrough
	3.	The first gorgeous outdoor area of Sector 2 houses your first encounter with a Kyratian (nasty two-legged monster with a pair of whip-like turrets on its back). Once you've dealt with the beast, take a close look at the exit up ahead. On the right side of the door lies the mouth of a small stream running through the region. Enter Morph Ball mode and roll inside to discover a hidden tunnel - this Missile Tank is waiting right at the end. Go to walkthrough
	4.	Soon after facing the first Kyratian, you'll find yourself indoors between two outdoor regions. Two Dessgeegas inhabit the chamber and must be defeated to move onward. Once they're gone, look for the opening of a ruined piping section near the exit (a soft red glow reveals its location). Climb inside with the Morph Ball and follow the piping around to a hole in the ceiling. Leap through here to find this Missile Tank living in a tiny alcove above the ceiling. Go to walkthrough
	5.	Adjacent to the chamber where the previous Missile Tank lived is a huge ice cavern filled with stalactites. You'll shoot down these stalactites while engaging two Kyratians. Clear both hostiles out and head for the far end of the cavern. This Missile Tank is hiding inside a tiny tunnel in the second lake - stand on the bank of the lake near the exit and look for a small visible tunnel opening down below. Hop into the water and try to catch the edge of the hole, then climb inside to find this Missile Tank waiting there. Go to walkthrough
	6.	Travel to the large chamber where Samus discovers a lifeless, partially-frozen Gigafraug. Take a look at the wall behind the remains of the creature, see the three large exhaust fans? The two on the right are blowing cold air into the chamber - enter first person-view and strike the center fan with a charged Ice Beam blast. Doing so will freeze the fan in place, allowing you to crawl inside a hidden ventilation tunnel behind it. Roll through to discover this Missile Tank hiding inside a crate in a small chamber. Go to walkthrough
	7.	You'll face two crazy Kyratians in the Water Tank chamber once all the water drains out. Conquer them both, then climb up the right side of the chamber. Walk down the catwalk to the corner of the room and look for a small hole up near the ceiling. Climb inside to find this Missile Tank tucked snugly inside a short tunnel. Go to walkthrough
	8.	This Missile hides out in the same long corridor where Adam authorises the Speed Booster. Backtrack to the entrance of the corridor and begin running towards the steep slope ahead. Once the Speed Booster kicks in, keep running right up to the apex of the slope. As soon as you reach flat ground at the top, hold 2 to engage the Shinespark, then hold Down on the D-Pad (which is the opposite direction Samus is facing, or back towards the slope). Release 2 to leap way over to a hidden alcove where this Missile Tank resides inside a crate, high above the slope below. Go to walkthrough
	9.	Proceed to the Sector Generator Room (where two huge rotating cylinders/turbines live, along with a Fumbleye directly above a large metal platform). Make your way over to the second rotating cylinder on the right side of the chamber and scale up to the highest point. Hang from the edge there and wait for the cylinder to bring Samus around to the platform nearest your viewpoint, then leap off and follow the catwalk around to locate this Missile Tank up against a glass wall. Go to walkthrough
	10.	This Missile Tank hides in the same chamber where you first meet the Super Zebesians and receive authorisation to use the Wave Beam. See the large collection of coloured crates in one corner of the area? Walk behind them along the wall to discover this Missile Tank hiding in the far corner. Go to walkthrough
	11.	Soon after the previous Missile Tank, you'll find yourself in a colossal, long icy corridor where Shinesparking is required to proceed further. See the huge pylons hanging from the ceiling? This Missile Tank rests atop the first one nearest the exit. Defeat the trio of Volfons here to reveal its position on the map. Run down to the icy cliff up ahead, then run back and build up the Speed Booster's charge. Watch Samus pass the blue dot on the map - immediately after she passes the dot, leap straight up into the air. Hold forward to either land directly on the Missile Tank's ledge or to grab hold of the edge. You can also easily reach this Missile Tank once the avalanche has filled the area with packed snow. Once you have the Grapple Beam equipped, return here and use the lone Grapple Point to scale the debris, then simply walk over to the Missile Tank (the snow has filled the chamber right up to its position!). Go to walkthrough
	12.	Super Missiles are needed to reach this one. Go to the connecting corridor between the main elevator of Sector 2 and the nearby Navigation Room. On the right side of the corridor lies a small Super Missile blast shield. Dismantle it and climb inside to locate this Missile Tank hiding inside a short tunnel. Go to walkthrough
	13.	In the southern region of Sector 2 is a long corridor where you initially face a Gigafraug and a Himellla nest (there's a Power Bomb blast shield on one of the walls too). Normally you need to clear ice obstructions off a grapple lift to be able to reach a terminal to unlock a door. Near this door is an ice stalactite in the ceiling, directly above an indentation on the ground. Fire a Missile to dismantle the stalactite, revealing a small opening in the pipe up on the ceiling. Run down to the opposite end of the chamber and begin running back towards the opening, building up the Speed Booster's charge along the way. Hold down 2 just as Samus reaches the indentation, then Shinespark directly up, sending Samus snugly into the hole. She'll hit the ceiling and begin to fall; quickly jump forward (the Space Jump will help) and grab hold of the edge of the pipe. Pull yourself up and roll forward to find this Missile Tank hiding at the end of the pipe. Go to walkthrough
	14.	This Missile Tank resides near the previous one. Up in the pipe of the long corridor mentioned above, roll back towards the breached segment. Carefully Spring Jump over the gap (don't roll up against the invisible wall at the edge and then jump - jump just before reaching the edge) and roll down to the other end. Bomb open the crate you find to locate this Missile Tank hidden inside. Go to walkthrough
	15.	The Space Jump and Gravity Suit are needed to track down this Missile Tank. Deep in the south-eastern region of Sector 2 lies a number of chambers with reversed and increased gravity, making it difficult for Samus to move around. Once you have the Gravity Suit, go to the large multi-leveled chamber near the end of the region where two Grapple Points live. Geemers and Baristutes inhabit the area too. Ascend to the very top of the area and climb up to the right of the Grapple Point there. Use the Space Jump to fly left, past the Grapple Point and over to the wall. Hit the wall and wall-jump directly up the now-visible shaft. This Missile Tank awaits high above in a snug alcove. Go to walkthrough
	16.	This Missile Tank is also hidden in the gravity-affected areas of Sector 2, so you'll need both the Space Jump and Gravity Suit to reach it. Near the beginning of the region is a massive blue-lit chamber home to a number of Geemers and platforms adorned with red running lights. The Missile Tank is hidden inside the wall to the left of the platforms (it might be hard to spot among all that blue ambience). Over in the wall on the left is a small glowing tunnel entrance. Space Jump over to the tunnel opening from above and catch hold of it as Samus falls. Climb inside and roll to the right to reach your upside-down prize. Go to walkthrough
	17.	The Wave Beam and Space Jump are needed for this. Travel to the large chamber filled with stasis tanks housing Geemers and Himellas (there may also be a Fumbleye on the ceiling). Use the Wave Beam to clear out all targets in the area (or drop a Power Bomb to clear them quickly) - a hidden alcove will then reveal itself where this Missile Tank awaits. Jump off the bridge and Space Jump into the alcove to reach it. Go to walkthrough
	18.	Super Missiles are needed to find this one. Proceed to the open-air Experiment Floor and go inside the indoor tunnel connecting this region to the Materials Storehouse. Look for a Super Missile blast shield on the ground near the exit; blow it open to locate this Missile Tank in a shallow recess beneath the floor. Go to walkthrough
	19.	This Missile Tank hides in the Materials Storehouse. As you first enter the room from the Experiment Floor region, a platform rests on the other side of a glass wall. Use the Space Jump to fly over to this platform from the top of the nearby stairwell or from atop the stacked cargo crates nearby. Once there, you'll discover this Missile Tank tucked inside a narrow tunnel in the wall. Go to walkthrough

Back to top

Sector 3

	1.	Soon after receiving the Ice Beam, you'll face a quartet of Dessgeegas in a long dirt corridor filled with flame exhaust vents. Clear out your foes and take a look at the environment - one of the vents is continuously spewing flames. Enter first-person view and lock onto the vent; strike it with a charged Ice Beam blast to freeze the vent and reveal a narrow tunnel inside. Crawl inside and crack open the crate hidden there to find this Missile Tank. Go to walkthrough
	2.	Go to the Floor Observation Room where the Asboreans live. Once there, take a look at the control terminal station adorning one of the walls. See the raised stairwell leading up to the terminal? Enter Morph Ball mode and roll underneath it to find this sneaky Missile Tank hiding there. Go to walkthrough
	3.	Right outside the Floor Observation Room is a small corridor opening out to the outdoor vista leading towards the volcano. Look for an open grate up along the wall - climb inside and follow the tunnel to locate this Missile Tank back inside the Floor Observation Room. Go to walkthrough
	4.	During your ascent up the Desert Refinery, eventually you'll need to use the Morph Ball to roll through part of the facility. Soon after you enter the narrow tunnel it'll branch left and right - follow the right path to discover this Missile Tank around the bend. Go to walkthrough
	5.	Soon after the boss encounter in the Geothermal Power Plant concludes, you'll find yourself descending a narrow shaft where some Nova live. Normally you need to strike a switch further down with a Charge Beam hit to partially unlock a hatch. Scale down the shaft (don't go all the way down into the lava at the bottom) and keep an eye on the left side of the shaft for a small opening. Climb inside and roll through the tunnel to discover this Missile Tank waiting there (how on Earth did it get there?). If you missed this one initially and need to go back to the shaft to find it, use the bomb launcher in the chamber beside the main elevator of Sector 3 to arrive there quickly. Go to walkthrough
	6.	Power Bombs will be needed to find this Missile Tank. Go to the chamber east of the Sector 3 main elevator where you once fought an Asborean and later the Rhedogian (it's where the Grapple Beam was authorised). Climb up to the upper floor and look for a Power Bomb blast shield across from a Super Missile blast shield. Lay a Power Bomb to awaken the Desbrachian on the hatch. Conquer your foe and walk inside the unlocked chamber to discover this Missile Tank waiting there. Go to walkthrough
	7.	The Speed Booster, Wave Beam and Space Jump are required for this item. Return to the entrance of the Geothermal Power Plant and backtrack down the sloping tunnel where pairs of robotic units generate purple energy fields from outside the windows. Use the Wave Beam to clear them all out, then give yourself enough room to build up the Speed Booster's charge and run down to the bottom of the tunnel. Enter the room at the bottom of the sloping tunnel so that the Speed Booster kicks in, then Shinespark directly up to the ceiling of the chamber. Space Jump over to the right side of the room as Samus begins to fall; this Missile Tank rests atop a high platform in the corner. Go to walkthrough
	8.	Super Missiles are needed here. Remember the long transparent tunnel you traveled through on your first visit to Sector 3? The one where Vorash smashed through a segment of the tunnel and tried to eat Samus? Just beyond here lies a darkened chamber full of Heat Bulls where an Energy Part can also be found. Look for a Super Missile blast shield on the sloping ramp near the lower exit of the chamber. Blast it open and hop inside to find this Missile Tank hidden further ahead. Go to walkthrough
	9.	The Wave Beam is needed to reach this item. Take a look at the floor of the transparent tunnel immediately after the segment that Vorash dismantles in an attempt to gobble up Samus - there's a small sealed hatch there. Look at the rocky formation outside the window on the right to spot a Charge Beam control switch mounted on the rocky surface. Use the Wave Beam to deliver a charged blast into the switch. With the hatch open, enter Morph Ball mode and roll inside to locate this Missile Tank hiding at the end of a long pipe. Go to walkthrough
	10.	Power Bombs are required here. Travel to the north-eastern area (when viewing the map in the sub-screen) of the huge magma ocean. A cluster of unremarkable stalagmites can be found along the same path you took when Vorash would leap out of the lava trying to eat Samus (Magdollites now inhabit the area). Look for a trio of helpful fireflies to pinpoint the exact location. Enter first-person view and take a look at a lone stalagmite - scanning it reveals that a Power Bomb can damage it. Deploy a Power Bomb to dismantle the stalagmite and reveal this Missile Tank's inexplicable location within it. Go to walkthrough
	11.	You'll require the Varia Suit and Space Jump to reach this item. Go to the Navigation Room on the south-eastern side of the huge magma ocean. Keep moving through the network of tunnels and shafts beyond. Fall down to the very bottom of the first shaft to find a long lava pond with no visible way across. No matter - leap up and Space Jump across the pond to discover this Missile Tank resting atop a small platform. Go to walkthrough
	12.	Near the previous Missile Tank lies a second tall shaft - right at the top is a Super Missile blast shield. Blow it open with a Super Missile and climb up to discover this Missile Tank hiding in a snug chamber. Go to walkthrough
	13.	The Space Jump will be required to reach this one. This Missile Tank hides in the long chamber containing the elevator leading up to the very top of the Desert Refinery (it's also home to a Dragotix). The Missile Tank hides in plain view inside an alcove down in the lava pit where two Magdollites hang out - leap down from above and use the Space Jump to reach the alcove easily. Go to walkthrough

Back to top

Bioweapon Research Center

	1.	Near the entrance of the region, this Missile Tank hides in a room right above the chamber housing the main computer terminal. Simply walk up the ramp and step inside the room to see it waiting in the corner. Be ready to fight your way out against a horde of Super Zebesians, however. Go to walkthrough
	2.	After the final boss encounter, return to the chamber where the encounter took place and travel through the southern door. Inside is a multi-level lab/control room. Walk over to the bank of computer terminals on the right and have a close look at the ground. Between the two banks of computers are three octahedron shapes on the floor - target the center one and fire a Missile at it or lay a bomb above it to break through the floor. This Missile Tank rests inside a small pit below. Go to walkthrough
	3.	Climb up the stairwell of the lab mentioned in the previous Missile Tank and have a look around. Over on the left wall you'll spot this Missile Tank within a small glass enclosure, but there's no obvious way to reach it. Take a closer look at the large computer terminal in the center of the room - three of its four sides show displays monitoring the three main sectors of the Bottle Ship - but what does the fourth side display? Look around behind the terminal to find a big open space instead. Climb inside and wall-jump up through the hole in the ceiling there, then use the Morph Ball to explore the narrow tunnel found above. Follow the network of tunnels to eventually find yourself inside the glass enclosure below - simply roll to the right to reach your prize. Go to walkthrough
